Elvis Costello: Live at the El Mocambo (1978)


I moved to Toronto long after this show happened, but I am fairly sure that I heard snippets of the broadcast on CHUM-FM, which used to be an amazing radio station. It's been a pathetic blight upon the radio airwaves for the last 30 years.

Live at the El Mocambo is a demo record, meant for radio station replay only, as it says on the jacket. Somehow, a few of these records escaped into the wild. This record is interesting, but the sound is not that great. It is better than a bootleg, but the overall sound is a bit dull. Still, it's cool to have.
